Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is confident the winter break will give Wilfred Ndidi the time required to overcome his latest knee injury.

Ndidi made a remarkable recovery last month following surgery to remove a piece of floating bone from the meniscus, returning to action just 12 days after the operation.

But after coming on as a 34th-minute substitute in City’s 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham on January 22, and then playing the full 90 minutes of his side’s Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg defeat at Aston Villa six days later, Ndidi was pulled out of Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with Chelsea.

With Leicester City not in action now until the Valentine’s Day clash with Wolves, Rodgers is hopeful the 23-year-old Nigerian will be able to play at Molineux.

“He was down to play, even right up until the team-sheet going in, well before the game, but gradually he felt the pain.

“I can just tell. I’ve known Wilf long enough now. He’s a real warrior and a tough player, so to see him in the pain when he walked, it just made no sense to risk him.

“We took it out of his hands, let him rest. He’s got a period of rest now, which will help his knee.”

NDIDI, I beg you, get your own doctors for a different opinion. This is serious business. It's your knee we're talking about here.

... and at the end if you don't recover, you will be DUMPED with ease. Take care of yourself, young man. Don't be fooled into believing you are 'indispensable.'

Ease doesn’t even begin to cut it. PLEASE, if there’s anyone that has his ear, please tell Ndidi to go for a second opinion. Do not trust Rodgers of LC’s medical staff...DO NOT buy into their drivel that you’re super human. Make sure that knee is 100%. Your future is so bright. Don’t let these pigs ruin it
